Justice?
According to Dictionary.com justice is the quality of moral rightness. That is a very ambiguous definition. To me justice is made out of several factors among them are ethic and morals. In cases like the shooting of Mr. Brown in Ferguson, I don't think justice was really served. I believe this because the officer that shot Mr. Brown didn't suffer severe consequences for his actions. The incident wasn't taken to the level it would have been if the man shot was white and the officer was African American. I think that it is injustice to judge a case by the pigment of your skin. A crime should be judged by the evidence and the facts, not speculations or theories. It is hard to do this because when judging something you want to be impartial. Although, no matter how much we try that is impossible, emotion is attached to our reasoning in some sort of way. We can say that we do not have an emotional attachment to certain issues, but we do.
